1 What is biotin?
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin that is responsible for many metabolic processes. It helps the body to produce keratin. Keratin is the main component of hair, which is why biotin is considered a beauty vitamin for hair. It ensures that hair can grow normally.
Biotin is also said to have other benefits that are important for health and appearance. It nourishes the skin and mucous membranes and is even responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous system and numerous other psychological functions.¹
2. biotin for beautiful hair
Washing and drying alone puts a lot of strain on hair. It is also exposed to numerous harmful environmental influences in everyday life. It is therefore advisable to be careful with the heat and to use light shampoos in small quantities. A scalp massage is not only good for the soul, but also promotes blood circulation to the scalp.
However, this alone is usually not enough to have beautiful and healthy hair. An optimal supply of nutrients is also important for hair and this can be achieved through a balanced diet and a supply of biotin, zinc and selenium.² These substances are contained in fish, meat, nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables and other vitamin-rich foods, for example. If your diet is unbalanced, dietary supplements such as Casida's Biotin Complex with Zinc + Selenium can also help. It is the optimal combination of active ingredients because zinc and selenium nourish the hair and nails, while biotin acts on the skin and hair.²

A full mane is the beauty ideal par excellence. But what to do with thin hair? While some people are genetically predisposed to fine hair, this problem can also have other causes. If the cause is a lack of valuable nutrients, biotin is the solution. Casida's combination of active ingredients could finally put an end to this problem, as biotin and selenium are important for normal hair growth. Casida's biotin capsules provide damaged hair with all the nutrients it so urgently needs.
